Unless you're one of the most heavily trafficked houses on the block, you probably have a decent amount of extra Halloween candy just sitting there begging to be eaten. Rather than give in to temptation, here are some great ideas for how to repurpose the leftover treats!

Freeze it and save it for later

Like a modern day harvest for winter, save some candy for later and break out in case of (chocolate) emergencies. One mom we spoke to said she likes to use the leftovers as stocking stuffers at Christmas.

Add it to gifts

With the holidays right around the corner, a few fun-size bars of chocolate are the perfect addition to any gift. You may have gotten someone you hardly know for your office's Secret Santa, but add some bite-sized chocolates to any generic soap or candle gift and "Susan from accounting" will be thrilled!

Bring it into the office

Your coworkers will love and hate you for this one. Yes, they may moan that you're the reason their holiday season diet is hard to stick to, but you can't complain with a mouth full of nougat.

There is no leftover candy

Maybe you stopped to read this mid-candy binge. If the idea of leftover candy is just too impossible to imagine, just simply enjoy. Beware of that bellyache on November 1st, though.
